Post-Game Talk: The Sieve We Know

If Kane can come back and lead the charge with some physical play, it will wake the oilers players up quicker go be physically engaging.
At the end of the day the kings scored on a fanned shot with 45 seconds to go to win their first regulation win against us in the postseason since 2022. We took a period and a half off and still almost pulled it out despite everything. Not like we weren’t 3-9 in game 1’s coming into this one either. We’ve come back from this situation a bunch. Reminds me of the flames series honestly.
 
Will hfboards pitch money to pay Stuart his salary for be

Listen I know that shoppers had a sale on baby oil and it will do as a person al lubricant in a pinch, but try to see through the long hair and the moustache and realize he's bad for you. He's bad for all of us.

Let's run him out of town, bro.
Then he will just be replaced by another bad goalie. Did we forget Jack Campbell so soon?
 
I don’t know what the goalie solution is but getting the first goal and getting more than 10 shots in 2 periods would help. It was like there was only one team on the ice til McDrai got mad and went beast mode. How bout we do that period one on Wednesday

Well I call it as it is not the Bias this hive mind board runs on. He was screened on a shot that went no where near where it’s was expected to go.

The whole team played like garbage for over two periods, giving up lots of chances and only generating 6 shots through the first half of the game. The Kings played the better game and had the refs gift them prime opportunities at the perfect time.
What about the second goal that they banked in off him in the last minute of the first period?

100% the level of play in the first 40 minutes was unacceptable.
 
Because Knob "got us to Game 7" just like Skinner did. LOL. Yup, wasn't McDavid's God mode force of will, wasn't a legendary PK, wasn't Coffey fixing the D...
It kind of was. The change in our D play after Woody was fired and KK and Coffey were hired was as transcendent as its possible to be. Lightyears improvement.

Skinner is awful at what he does. Our coaching, wrinkles or not, at least theres some competence to it. not the same.
 
I thought you were drunk when I read that. ;)

Credit that you tried. The positive I take here is that Skinner was so bad, and it’s only one game, and we actually have another goalie who should have started playoffs anyway. So Skinner forcing hand might not be the worst thing. I'll take any positive after that.
I would have started Pickard too. But I just knew the team had to try fitting that square peg into the round hole again with Skinner. So, for my sanity I thought I’d try cheering him on till he gave me reason not to… again. Didn’t take long lol.
 
There is no doubt in my mind we win that game with Pickard in net. He’s not great but he wins.
Difference with Pickard is he battles like crazy. He will let in a "Skinner like goal", but then he also makes multiple saves "he shouldn't"

Skinner looks like a wimp in net. Just wants shots to hit him. Slow as a sloth. Rarely makes saves he shouldn't. Usually 0. Lets in everything

What a travesty that this guy is playing behind 2 generational players.

If they signed this turd to anything more than a backup (that shouldn't even be done), I would threaten management (McDavid) and tell them I am out. I have wasted enough time burning my legacy

I was actually just thinking this, it gave me the same vibes as the flames series with the chaos.
 
Leafs fan who cheered for you guys last year and cheering against LA. I'm genuinely confused why the Oilers management has not made it a priority to get a good goaltender with a contending team especially after Skinner's overall unreliable performance last post season. With a half decent goalie that Vancouver series wouldn't have gone to 7 games and the Oilers probably would've won the cup last year imo. Hope Pickard takes over. I've seen him play on different teams over the years. He seems like a reliable goalie.
 
Also @TB12 , I think you should stop calling Skinner Moustache.

That’s an endearing name and Skinner doesn’t deserve that kind of emotion unfortunately :(

Kempe and Gavrikov mocking (deserved) fat f*** moustache post game.

I definitely think he was competent last season, but dressing Brown, is something everyone on here, every single poster, even people defending Skinner, all one of them, thought was a horrific idea. When something is that blatantly stupid to every segment of the fanbase and you still do it. Well, oh boy...
 
Didn't think it was a punch but whatever. There were lots more obvious non calls than that. neither should've been called. Danault sold it a bit better.
In games in like this we always have players who fall for bullshit and get baited into calls. Happens every year.

And all of that is basically gone. Team looks like Dave Tippett never left.

You're the type to say the skies green when everyone else says its blue because "hive mind" guys not because we just witnessed another absolute disaster of a game from him but because we all have a secret agenda and we're out to get him.
